Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas said he was going to be open to upgrade his roster this trade deadline and he's done exactly that, first adding two forwards, then some goaltending insurance and now a depth defenseman.

Hutton, 27, is a pending unrestricted free-agent who has played in 34 games for the Ducks, recording five points. In 375 career NHL games, the Prescott, Ontario native has tallied 91 points and 136 penalty minutes.
